How do i find the cursor coordinates on the screen in VB 2005 code?
"label1.Text = e.Location.X" Only gives you the coordinates in the program window itself, i want it to be displayed in a label/textbox in relation to the whole screen.
how to find the x,y coordinates of where my cursor is in an editing control like richtextbox. I don't need the mousepointer coordinates but the editor's cursor position.I found this VB code to achieve this. How can I convert it to vb.net ? Or is there a simpler solution ?

View 7 Repliesis there a way of getting the screen coordinates of individual cells on an open Excel sheet, what I want to ultimately do is pass in a cell range say, "A5" into a function and watch the mouse cursor move slowly to that cell. I know this might seem a weird request. I already have a mouse move function but that accepts the x/y coords in pixel terms where excel using .TOP and .LEFT give an entirely different format?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to get coordinates on my screen by holding down my mouse and placing it over different parts of the screen. I'm using the mouse_up and down events in a button to kinda simulate the mouse being held down. The problem I'm running into is that anytime I go past the button's bounds, the coordinates I want stop. This is what I have so far:

With VB2008 I am working with a picturebox that I am capturing the pointer position on a mouseup event. I am using the following to get the mouse location
Private Sub PictureBox1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseUp
Dim mp As Point = PictureBox1.PointToClient(MousePosition)
'...
End Sub
This appeared to work fine until I tested it on a Windows 7 system. The mouse position it captures is wrong (is offset from the actual click). If you make multiple clicks, they are positioned correctly relatively to each other, but they are skewed away from the point(s) you are actually clicking. It�s like they are off a fixed amount. It works 100% in Win XP. Could it have something to do with the Aero theme on Win 7? Would this happen to be a known issue or result from a common coding mistake?

View 7 Repliesit is designed to be able to interact with foreground windows and display certain bits of information as each foreground window is displayed. The foreground window will most of the time NOT be a windows form so this makes things that bit more trickier for me. The program below doesn't produce any errors but the problem arises when I try and get the X, Y coordinates of the cursor, at the moment when ever the cursor is moved around I get a very long number as the X and nothing returned for my Y. I find I can set the X,Y coordinates to anywhere on the screen, can also get the foreground forms title,it's RECT coordinates but need to get the cursor info correctly.

I might sound somewhat 'newbish', this is my first post on VB. I was wondering if anyone knew how to convert screen coordinates so it works on other screens as well, I made 2 programs, one to get 'my' MOUSE coordinates and the other to click where I want it to click.

I have an image resembling a chessboard inside a picturebox displayed on the screen at runtime. I am using Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2008. I need to determine when a user clicks on a particular part of the image. I am able to do this without a problem when debugging on my computer, where I can experiment with trial-and-error clicking to get the screen coordinates of the portion of the image of interest. Everything changes, however, when the program is run on a screen with a different resolution and coordinates.
I can easily get the coordinates for the picturebox that contains the image using PointToScreen. However, there seems to be no such property for the image within the picturebox, which is what I need.
Here's the code thus far, excuse the other bits in between, these are for getting the foreground form title, form coordinates etc, i now need the cursor coorindates where ever the mouse cursor is to:
Option Explicit On
Imports System.Text
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

When I get try and get the x and y coorindates only the x is appearing i think, this gives me a very long number, the y is set to 0. Not sure if I need to take this x number and split it to get my x and y or whether there is logic error in my code
I am working on a project that involves the editing of html of pages on the fly. I have put a webbrowser on the form, and I am able to retrieve the element under my mouse by using: wBrowser.Document.GetElementFromPoint(e.ClientMousePosition) in the Document.MouseClick event.However, I want the experience to be more intuitive, by placing a semi-transparent blue rectangle over whichever HtmlElement the mouse is currently hovering over. I created a borderless form with 20% opacity for this, which works great, except that I cannot for the life of me figure out how to calculate the screen coordinates of the element under my mouse. Here is what I have so far, but while the size is adjusted correctly, the location of the rectangle is just stuck at (0, 0) relative to my form. Highly annoying:

Since the map image is bigger than my screen resolution 1280 x 1024, a horizontal scroll bar is shown. I use Location x and y to place icons, but the problem is:placing an icon at location (0, 0) when the horizontal scroll bar is at left-most position is different from when the horizontal scroll bar is at right-most position...If I move scroll bar to x-axis(right) 10 thenplacing an icon at (0, 0), should be (0, 0) but it is placed at (10, 0).n this case, is there any different approach?

View 2 RepliesIn my vb.net project, i use to add Datagridview dynamically into a tab control. tab pages's autoscroll property is set to true. i calculated the gap between consecutive DGVWs and pass the parameter in the location as like this. [Code]
supposing if i want to 7 DGVWS, say 5 DGVWs are placed finely in expected gap until i do the scrolling the vertical scroll bar. whenever i scroll the bar(vertical) to the downmost end and then again add DGVW into the tab page. unfortunately the 6th DGVW is placed somewhere down and the gap between 5th and 6th dgvw is enormous difference. what i understand is whenever the scroll bar is brought to the bottom most end, the drawing point is taken as the current top view. i don't want like this. Is there any setting needs to be take care.
